Headline: The Arctic Circle Hit 101°F Saturday
Actual details from the article: This past weekend, a small Russian town in the Arctic Circle hit ... 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit
How can Forbes justify using this headline?

Forbes is now a content host - when you see an article from forbes.com/sites/xxxx, that means that it's essentially a blog from a rando that Forbes selected as a 'contributor'.
See https://www.journalism.co.uk/news/the-forbes-contributor-mod...
> Contributors have access to the same publishing platform as Forbes's own journalists, a platform which was built by Forbes itself. And keeping the system simple is vital, Federle said, to allow them "to focus on the journalism", and not get distracted by technicalities. > Second is the Most Popular section, which Federle explained is "algorithmically generated" and "driven by velocity engine" which looks at social shares and comments to rank stories. > "We've taken our platform and will shrink wrap it down to a product they can plug into their platform. This is a new business for us."
I find it hard to believe someone with those credentials would be unfamiliar with mathematical concepts.
It's a shame because the article doesn't need to "hype" up the temperature. It would have gotten my interest regardless
It's entirely reasonable to judge a publication on the basis of a headline not matching the article. It is not at all reasonable to judge the article's author concerning a headline they did not write, had no say in and probably did not even seen prior to publication.
Re: "A small Russian town" lol, Do you propose that temperatures were different 50km away?
There is a massive heat wave rolling through NORTHERN Siberia right now, and it's not been confined to one town nor is this "record" the only broken heat record.
Southern Siberia, like the Altai region, hit's such temperatures regularly, but that's Novosibirsk and south. What we are referring to here is unprecedented, so let's please stop acting as if ANTHROPOGENIC CLIMATE CHANGE wasn't a factual reality threatening mammalian life on earth.
However, no one is communicating well here, and you're not a moderator on this thread.
